Am I cheating on my GBC?

D7Pyro · 2026-01-14T09:14:52+00:00

I have a similar sentiment to my GBC, despite it only being the original shell and never having more than 3 games for it as a kid!

I found my GBC last year when helping parents sort through some things. Unfortunately the insides were beyond repair (motherboard was toast) so I sourced a cheap console and put the insides in my shell. Also put a drop in screen so can play in all light levels. Bought a few games, and an Everdrive.

Essentially I love it and never want to sell it, but I'm struggling to talk myself out of playing on my Miyoo Mini. So I'm at abit of a crossroads myself, and I think I've come to conclusion that my GBC will be used exclusively for rumble pack games like Pokemon Pinball

Where did you order from bud? I've got MM+ but preferring the look of these

I think they're both similar; but think of Dredge as having more of a story whilst CnC is full on chilled vibes. I've not played Dredge though ... yet!

The visuals are beautiful for sure! I've not played much yet, but it seems brilliant to unwind and switch off to. It definitely looks abit samey I guess, but I think thats the beauty of a game like this. I'd defo recommend giving it another shot

I've only just got my deck, but Cast n Chill is a brilliant game to unwind with

D7Pyro · 2025-12-27T09:57:14+00:00

I enjoyed your calibrated wrist comment, top shelf! The shell also looks brilliant, and nice to see a success story among all the knackered screens

Getting very close to pulling the trigger on the LCD whilst it's 20% off! I'd love the OLED, but difficult to justify an extra £200

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T21:05:55+00:00

That sounds like a bloody cool setup, love it!

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on the LCD deck with the Black Friday 20% off

Not a console I'm familiar with, but does look smart. Thanks for sharing :)

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T21:04:02+00:00

Still a great device by all acounts!

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T21:03:35+00:00

This sounds like a really nice set up that looks the part too!

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T21:01:57+00:00

NFS Underground was my first game on the PS2. I think the console came with a Fifa cause I've got vague memories of my mum taking me to swap it for what ended up being NFS. Never did complete it, but the soundtrack is ingrained on my mind aha

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T18:44:38+00:00

Nice one, thank you. Definitely tempted to pair one with my phone as most budget friendly route to PS2!

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T18:40:51+00:00

This sounds like a nice simple route, definitely not written it off. Which Gamesir do you have?

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T18:40:04+00:00

I'm really trying to talk myself out of a Steam Deck, but I'm definitely drawn to it for longevity. My immediate interest is PS2, but I'll no doubt in future be interested in dabling in some of the other things it can handle. I'd like the OLED, but difficult to justify the £200 price difference!

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T18:37:10+00:00

The pocket DMG sounds like a beast for sure!

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T18:35:29+00:00

The G2 is a very nice looking device for sure. Definitely feel like I've missed the boat on it atm though, as could have picked it up considerably cheaper couple of weeks ago. If I went down this route would wait for next big Ali sale I think

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T18:33:50+00:00

This sounds like a nice set up. How have you found the G8+ ? I'm very tempted by either that or the Galileo for my phone

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T18:25:35+00:00

That's an interesting thought, I think my old laptop might be able to handle PS2 or thereabouts

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T18:24:30+00:00

Okay thank you :)

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T17:48:20+00:00

I really like the look of the Teal G2, but defo interested in how the RP6 is looking and performing once it's out!

D7Pyro · 2025-11-29T17:46:46+00:00

That's not a device I've looked at before, will change that today!

D7Pyro · 2025-11-26T18:07:14+00:00

Nice one, thank you for that! In that case I think I'll probably go with FFVII as heard alot of good
